Like many of the mining ilk, the five Blonger Bros. who went west seemed to have little use for a family. Although all of them married, none of them lived with their wives or family during their best years. And oddly, though they fathered at least ten children, none of the western Blongers has any known living descendants.

Back home in Shullsburg, Michael Belonger and his sister Mary Belonger Swinbank made up for their siblings. All told they raised fourteen children and have hundreds of living descendants, most living in Wisconsin and Illinois.

We have not been able to trace the progeny of the eldest sister, Julia Belonger Revoir, beyond 1892, when she and her six children lived in the Massachusetts towns of Ayer, Shirley, and Leominster.

We are interested in cataloging Blonger/Belonger family members. If you are a Blonger descendant, we'd like to know about it.
